Chapter 253
*She turned me down!” Daniel said with his head down, his eyes dull and lifeless.
Carlisle chuckled. “Told you, but you wouldn’t listen!”
“Don’t gloat. Phoebe said Wanda already has someone she likes, so you’re out of luck too!” Daniel felt a little better realizing that even a billionaire like Carlisle didn’t stand a chance either.
“Mr. Hanson is coming.” Carlisle noticed Lawrence approaching and gave a quiet warning.
Daniel quickly stuffed the bun into his pocket, and the students scrambled into formation.
“Attention!” Lawrence commanded from the front, and all the students snapped to attention.
“Dress right, dress!
“Ready, front!
“At ease!
“Yesterday’s field training went well, and I hope you all continue to perform well today!”
Lawrence’s sharp gaze swept across the students.
He then barked, “Right, face!”
Everyone turned to the right in unison.
“Forward march!”
The students marched toward the school bus assembly point.
Upon arrival, Lawrence instructed, “Get on the bus according to the groups and seats assigned yesterday!”
The students filed onto the buses. Soon, only Carlisle and Wanda remained.
Lawrence walked over and said, “You two take the bus at the back!”
Carlisle and Wanda exchanged glances and then boarded the bus one after the other.
“Wanda, over here.” Phoebe waved to Wanda as soon as she got on the bus.
Christine who walked down the aisle ahead of Wanda, however, plopped down next to Phoebe.
Phoebe was momentarily puzzled. “Christine, what are you doing? Mr. Hanson said to sit in the same seats as yesterday.”
The back of the bus was mostly empty, and no one had sat next to Phoebe yesterday. Christine had also sat alone in a row at the back.
Christine leaned over and whispered something in Phoebe’s ear.
Phoebe glanced at Carlisle and then smiled awkwardly. “How could I forget about that!”

Wanda and Carlisle had no choice but to take the row behind Phoebe and Christine.
As the bus started moving, Wanda almost lost her balance due to the sudden inertia. Fortunately, Carlisle quickly steadied her.
“Are you alright?” Carlisle asked with concern.
“I’m fine.” Wanda shook her head and sat in the window seat, holding onto the seat in front of her.
Despite their growing closeness, sitting next to Carlisle in front of so many classmates made her feel uncontrollably nervous.
Carlisle sat on the aisle seat, noticing Wanda’s nervous demeanor from the corner of his eye. He found it
amusing.
